Thou shalt not mock VPOTUS

I was officially hired at WMAL, which is owned by Cumulus Media, this past fall as one of three female co-hosts of O’Connor & Company, the morning drive radio program.
On March 9, I co-hosted the show alongside my friend Larry O’Connor, just like I normally do on Wednesday mornings. It had been nearly a week since the social media meltdown over my Kamala tweet, and none of us at the show had a feeling that anything was amiss.
Later that afternoon, just before 4 p.m., I received a call out of the blue from Jeff Boden, the vice president of Cumulus Washington, D.C, and Kriston Fancellas, the vice president of Human Resources.
They told me that the tweet I sent about Kamala was “racist” and that subsequent follow-ups defending myself and making fun of the efforts to cancel me were unacceptable. I had violated the company’s social media policy, they said, and I was terminated effective immediately.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I have to say, writing that would imply that she's not exactly the brightest bulb.
Obviously, The Spectator wouldn't care, they hired freaking BoJo as editor.

Dim indeed.
Yeah, she's not exactly rocket-surgeon material either.

I see nothing wrong with that. As political discourse goes, that's pretty durn mild. If we have become that hypersensitized, we are doomed.
OTOH, you need to know the rest of the story, as Mr. Harvey would say. The email writing campaign that led to Amber's firing was spearheaded by LGBTQRSTUV folks in Florida, as payback for her stance on teaching sex ed to Florida kids in K-3 grade.
